Hello just after a bit of advice on a small reel for my new travel rod, Firstly not sure weather to get a small baitcasting reel or a fixed spool the weight is important and il only be fishing off the rocks and piers so wont need to worry about capacity too much, And iv never used braid before and would it be a good idea to try it on this set up im guessing 10lbish will be what i end up using. Has anyone got this sort of set up? what will be a decent reel and line? Any advice would be greatly appreciated as when i look online its just overwhelming choice. Lovely looking little rod only £55 and 43cm total packed length will fit in a suitcase easily, ideal.
Thanks Tim.[ATTACH=full]59623[/ATTACH]
